Same as what above said, fun to play with.

Also I've tried this, I popped my orb of deception (as a gnome male), got sheeped by a UD mage, and turned into a female tauren.

Comment by Amaroq

I just picked this up, its unfortunate that it cant give you an edge in the BG, but I imagine terrorizing a the Alliance areas (Southshore anyone?) would be very enjoyable as a dwarf. This is probably best for a class that would sync up with the opposite race.

Any information on the BE? They change into the Draeni right?

Comment by FISKERQ

Yup, Blood Elves turn into Draenei and vice versa.

Comment by Jakie

What 's the cooldown and can you fight with this ?aka: is it possible to stay in the horde/allaince form 24/7 ? and for exaple grind with it..

Comment by skelemence

BO 19g!? I see them up in AH for well over 100g on Earthen Ring =/

Comment by gr33ksoldi3r

Its a 30 min cooldown and the form lasts for 5 min. unless they changed it

Comment by Natharn

Why is there a Screenshot? It doesn´t make any sense.

Comment by Mikezila

Because it always turns you into the same player model, with the same features, and the same gear. This shows what the Male Orc result looks like.

Comment by BobTheGreat

this thing wud really be funny on like a NE hunter turning into a undead hunter

Comment by Tresjin

Due to the fact these have a 0% chance to drop off any Outland mobs, and are all off of pre-TBC endgame content (i.e. the stuff nobody ever farms anymore), these are getting stupidly expensive on the AH. I remember them being 100g. Then they started selling for 200g. Then 300, 400, currently 500g. The Dire Maul arena is getting consistently camped just for this thing (look at the lootlist for The Razza or Skarr the Unbreakable and see if there's anything else they drop that would be worth camping for).

Comment by carnifern

I got one from an Eternium Lockbox in the Bone Wastes so, technically, they can drop in Outland. You just have to get incredibly lucky with a lockbox.

Comment by BobTheGreat

TAUREN ROGUES FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Comment by tiaraa37

U cant get it from there cuz is not droping in Outland prefaps it can from thorium never from eternium!!! Check the drop list!!

Comment by Tehsteve

While tauren on a mechanostrider looks pretty funky, Troll's look even more hillarious. Their legs droop over the wings and it's pretty funny. Check it out if you're a dwarf with this trinket and the time/money to get a gnome mount.

Comment by grizman

something ive always wanted, finally got one, male tauren looks great on a mechanostrider. you can do anything you want for the 5 minutes, you'll keep the costume through fighting, mounting, etc.

worth the money for funny factor if you are debating on buying this

but my question is since it's not unique, you can have two. but do they share the same 30 minute CD?

Comment by kirby92

Never tested it but they probably share the CD.Sorry to disappoint the ones who planned on buying two of them.

Comment by fbg111

Is there any practical purpose to this? The opposing faction cna still see your red nameplate and know you're just disguised, right?

Comment by MMMchikin

WOOT I FINALLY got this orb after 5 Skarr kills, 4 Razza kills and 2 Mushogg kills. It dropped on the 4th Razza kill. It took me about 3-4 days to farm for it.

I love being a Tauren WARLOCK lol that is the best thing ever. I've included screenshots. Yea it only lasts 5 mins with 30 min cooldown but I'll love this item, always!

And I'm thinking about farming the Arena regularly because the blues that drop from these guys sell for really high at the AH. If I get another orb, I could probably sell it for AT LEAST couple hundred gold also.

Comment by Isilvara

As a druid, I've taken a major humour-blow as they nerfed Noggenfogger and Dartol's Rod of Transformation, aswell as the Delight to break when I shapeshift. =(

Will the Orb Of Deception effect break when I shift aswell? The Arrakkoa costume does not, and allows me to fly around as an Arrakkoa in Terrokar. Would be EXTREMELY funny to be a undead female in raven form, "swimming" in the air around Shattrath. ;D

Comment by smiledk

If you un-equip the trinket while the buff is still active, you lose the buff, so don't do what I did the first time and use the trinket and then switch to a DPS trinket... wastes the 30 minute cooldown.

Comment by Warrax

How is this thing worth 500g now? it was 100g before

Comment by Daab

You cant enter town of opposing faction when transformed. NPC's will attack you.

Comment by aacid

Why my gear don't refresh when I transform with this...

I got this trinket long time ago when I was about 52, and when I use it now (70) I still have same gear on dwarf form (I'm troll) as when I first used it as level 52...

Only weapon is my new one...

Comment by kwconch

people on my server are selling it for 1000g.........

Comment by hordebekickin

so if u ar alliance and u use the orb and u walk into Crossroads will the gaurds attack u

Comment by bcwatson

Does it change the Color of your name as it appears to the opposing faction?

Comment by Kampai

It only changes your appearance, not the color of your name above your head.

Comment by Drum8888

"This item has been disenchanted 15 times."

15 Idiots.

Comment by Ozzymandius

Not necessarily. When an enchanter gets tired of playing dress-up with this worthless trinket, he can vendor it for 50 silver or disenchant it and sell the shard for 8-10 gold. That's not idiotic...

Comment by Drum8888

I'm afraid you're wrong. This 'worthless trinket' is BOE, and sells on most servers for 500+ Gold...The last one went for 850 on my server, and I am an enchanter.

Comment by Degas

never really wanted the orb till as of late. So i started the farm for razz. my third kill on him and he dropped x2 i didnt know that was even possible. luck was with me today!

Comment by Ozzymandius

My point is this - disenchanting it is not idiotic. After an enchanter has used an item he can still disenchant it and sell the components.

Comment by Ozzymandius

Comment by MariCraftPally

Was able to kill the razza with a 70 hunter (me being 66 holy spec pally) in first time. Then was able to kill the Orc guy with a 59 warlock and a 70 warlock first time. But still no orb. Im waiting on him ATM with another 70warlcok i hope he drops it today. ALso no one seems to come to kill him because everyone else is 43-47 in that area. so you have a heads up on gettin the orb.When i go no Ally/Horde so no dueling others in ring.

Wish me luck. I'll be fighting him in the next hour.

Comment by paintman

Killing Skarr the Unbreakable & The Razza are pretty easy as a affliction/demo lock.

Just buff up Big blue with his self buff, tri-dot them and health funnel. Have to be careful with Skarr though, the guy hits like a truck, some of his strikes hit my voidwalker for over 1k. You will probably die if he aggros you if you are a cloth wearer. I got careless with aggro a few times with Skarr, thank heavens for Soulshatter.

I think I killed over them over 10 times now, but still no orb. :(

Comment by jyun

lvl 70 Holy paladin, judge wisdom, use SOR holy shock /judge SOR, 100%mana/100%HP. It was easy very easy.. No DS no LoH. Kill him 3 times by yet..has not drop Orb...

Comment by Zero187

Is there another item or trinket that works like orb of deception??cus i saw a gnome that was transformed into a troll and i wanted to know what he used to turn into it

Comment by Genstargazer

Yes, anyone who is an engineer (Goblin or Gnomish) and has the Teleportation trinkets to Outlands has a chance to gain the "Transporter malfunction" debuff - http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=36899This changes there appearance when polymorphed/entering an instance/leaving an instance/zoning. Or if you are a druid with moonkin form, this also changes your appearence, all other druid forms remove the effect.

Comment by Chunkeh

Didn't see it listed but I got mine off a Chillwind Ravager in Winterspring. These things now go for 300-500g on my server (drak'thul). Still one of my favorite trinkets in the game, I've gotten lots of /flirt and /whistle from alliance and it's fun sometimes to run around the horde cities having people yell "omg its a gnome!" Probably not worth keeping for orcs or humans since they can get the same effect from eating Savory Deviate Delight.

Comment by DuhAlex

I dont have this item but now with the new patch 2.3 you wont be able to fool apposing factions as easily

Comment by Sistarose

I had one drop for me from a chest in Winterfall, Winterspring. It was quite a suprise and earned me 625 gold in Auction House. So while it is not mentioned to be contained in anything, it sure seems to be a bit of a random drop. And while it is primarily a novelty item, i did not give up asking for a large sum, knowing someone would have too much gold and be prepared to pay for a little fun.

Comment by gmayones

can anyone post a picture of a gnome riding mechanostrider under effects of the orb?

Comment by Iambehindyou

man i want this trinket so bad i have killed all of the things that drop it and still no orb

Comment by Isix

Got mine from Razza in the Maul. Was screwing around up there, heard the npc announce his spawning, and figured what the hell. Soloed him as a 70 feral druid in bear form. Also dropped http://www.wowhead.com/?item=23199.

Comment by Crimsonlord

In my opinion, I'd rather buy this for an amount of 400-600g than always keep on wasting money on Savory Deviate Delight which is around 1g+ per fish.

Besides, it's cool to be a member of the opposite faction, I confused some people in Shattrath City thinking that I really was the opposite faction, haha.

Comment by aleksandru

it transforms u in the opposite faction from the screen when u make u'r char,if someone noticed.draenei > blood elf and so on.

Comment by Zarry

I, myself, was looking at one in AH, and it was on 750 buyout.I ACCIDENTALLY clicked buyout, when i only had around 800 gold... >.<I was devestated and i put it on AH for 1200gold buyout in the hope someone would be dumb enough...Next day, i come online...mail from AH...TADAAAAH! 450 gold profit! =D

Comment by belkrast

This item can also sometimes be found in Fel Iron Chests in Outland. Blizzard left those as Azeroth loot, so they are in there randomly. I can confirm this personally.

Comment by geoffster

Comment by wade5445

Comment by shotzisk8

ok, so if you have this activated, can you attack mobs that are normally friendly towards you ?

Comment by BinaryMuse

No. It only changes your appearance.

Comment by BinaryMuse

It only changes your appearance, nothing else. You cannot attack friendly targets and you do not become friendly to the opposite faction.

Comment by Kaklefrosk

You can not kill friendly targets! :D Babababa

Comment by sorchaine

Just got one of these off a Death Singer in Eastern Plaguelands.

Comment by Lekku

Has anyone had luck selling this trinket? Is the 500g BO listed above still accurate?

<Update> Just sold mine on Kel'Thuzad for 600g - I saw them selling for up to 750g

Comment by Andorael

The gnome on a Kodo is just plain hilarious. The gnome is just tiny compared to the mount.

Comment by stim

I seem to remember that if you got hit while under the effect of this trinket it takes takes away the buff, not entirely sure though. Can anyone confirm this?

Comment by Rolphyle1

This drop mostly drops in Dire Mual Rare elite

Comment by lkhockey

I dont know if I'm very lucky or what but I've killed Skarr the Unbreakable twice with my warlock and both times I had this drop! First time I sold the trinket for 650G, it surprised me that someone really bought it for that xD! I just killed him again for the second time so I'm going to try to put it on AH for around 650G again! If I have no luck in finding a buyer this time I'll use it on one of my characters :p

Comment by nitalize

the ppl in my realm (frostmourne us), sells this for 1.6k gold,, >.> but hey,, its a fun thing to have, just like the picollo,, :)

Comment by remocwen

Question: does this interact at all with the Orb of the Sin'dorei? That is to say, when you are transformed into a Blood Elf via the Orb of the Sin'dorei and you activate the Orb of Deception, do you then change into a Draenei or do you change into whatever your race would normally swap to (i.e. Undead -> Night Elf)?

Comment by sorcerer25

Even if it could be heard in all Feralas, there is no reason for lvl 70 players to hang arround except for this exact item (Feralas is a 40-50 level area, Dire Maul is a 56-60 instance), and that's be cause is an really high price on this item, especially on PvP servers, so farming it is kinda a national sport :)

i only find Razza once and when i as about to engage it, two humans rogues appeared from nowhere and killed him :)

Comment by marz302

can u fight while the effect is active? or does it go away when u take damage?

Comment by Heresy

Hey, I just had this drop for me, considering using it, but I am a druid and was wondering if when I shift into cat/bear will I lose the effect? If so I guess i'll just sell it.Any thoughts?

Comment by eisesmit

This is a random world drop.

It transforms you into a member of the opposite faction for 5 minutes with a 30 minute cooldown.

You can attack and be damaged without losing the shapeshift. Of course, if you shapeshift you will lose the buff.

Comment by Gele

I sold like 10 orb of deception so far, for 1000-1500g. I cant't understand why ppl still paying that much for this trinket. Anyway, it can be a really good money maker if you have a watcher char in dim. Repop time is nearly 8 hours.

Comment by Draegloth

Something that I found interesting, is that when I use this item (after getting a Transportation Malfunction via an Engineering Teleporter) when I appear to be a female orc/be and probably female draenei/rogue (Im a male NE) I transformed into an Undead Female instead of a Male.

Comment by rykerkmartin

i want one >.<

Comment by Kidades

omfg it costs 1200 gold on my server!

Comment by Gali

yea i became female draenei too so it looks like with transport malfunction, your sex doesn't really matter

Comment by gehri

saw the comments on the spawn rate and that they drop here. put my alt there to hang out for 8 hours while i played and he didnt spawn. i think he is no longer available.

Comment by marz302

i have had the same problems as gehri. i used to farm razza and skarr and i have not seen them in that arena for days, i doubt some1 beats me to it a couple mins early each time... its almost like they took the mob out of the game with the new patch, but idk

Comment by seraph1337

Wrong. I just looted it today on Hellscream at about 10:30pm off Skarr the Unbreakable. I actually had no idea that he dropped anything of value, I was running a paladin friend through DM for the mount and I saw him in the arena. I dropped in and reamed him and lo and behold, there was the Orb along with a pair of plate gauntlets.

I just got lucky with him being there, I'm sure, but confirmed that he does still spawn and does still drop the orb.

Comment by Yennziuu

what does this drop off of the most (besides people in dungeons

Comment by Kipu2021

Confirmed, just picked it up 7:23 AM on Ursin Alliance.

Comment by TheInfamousSpamr

With so much gold floating around with dailies and the Orb of the Sin'Dorei becoming popular, you can sell this for much more than Wowhead's current 500g estimate. If you corner the market and be consistent with farming the Dire Maul arena, you can charge 1000g or more. A friend of mine farms the arena and times the 6-8hr spawn. She's made over 12000g off this item in the past month or two.

Comment by mojambo213

you are very very very wrong. the form lasts one hour not 5 minutes lol you are very wrong. just clearing that up unless it was 5 minutes but it changed

While using the orb you get all voice emotes from the form you change into.

Comment by innternal

I have yet to obtain my Orb of Deception, but I have a question regarding this item...

If you use the Orb of the Sin'Dorei, and then use the Orb of Deception, will it turn you into a Draenei or not?

Comment by dylansaur

I just found someone selling this in the AH for 1655 gold, Is that what it's supposed to sell for?

Comment by omnom

The price depends of how rare this item is on the server you play. And if people actually buy it.

Comment by yoshi9270

i think it was decided that gnomes would turn into taurens and vice-versa to see how the other hight lived

I have been waiting here for a long time. How do you know when he coming. Is it Guessing? please someone help me.

Comment by Kaydubbelyou

I just wish that blizz would make it into an item and not a trinket with a 30 min cd. This trinket doesn't deserve a 30 min cd when your disguise only last for 5 mins.

Comment by Vorimon

Got one last night off 'The Razza' - as a feral Druid, lvl 70 it took about 4-5 minutes to kill him. Towards the end I saw some Horde show up. They just watched instead of coming down for a kill. Chances are they wouldn't have been able to kill me anyways, but none the less, keep a watchful eye while you engage with Razza. He also dropped a lvl58 chest piece 'Dreamwalker' I believe. After "farming" the Dire Maul Arena and killing whichever rare spawn showed up I managed to get a few moonfire totems, Paladin libram's, and after the 6th or 7th kill, the orb dropped. Finally, I was getting tired of the trip. I'm not sure if I want to use it or sell it. I got an offer of 750G last night but. . .I kind of want to have it "just for the laughs".

Comment by evanblegen

dose this confuse enemy gruards at towns and citys?

Comment by Adalaide

I find it astounding that we are seeing this question again after it has already been answered twice. You will remain hostile to all npc's and players of the enemy faction. You can not enter towns, talk to npc's or become unflagged on a pvp server. This is simply used for the sake of amusement, a novelty even. Equally as useless and desirable as vanity pets.

Comment by SmileySL

It doesn't happen anymore, so I guess they fixed it in 2.4. (The buff remains even if you unequip it)

Comment by Bilbin

As stated in an above post

By SmileySL on 10/13/2008 (Patch 2.4.3)It doesn't happen anymore, so I guess they fixed it in 2.4. (The buff remains even if you unequip it)

In the current patch(3.0.3) this does NOT happen.This will most likely lesser the value of the orb, most would think that you can equip this, change form, then put your main trinket back on.If you remove the trinket, you remove the buff.

Comment by Teramos

just sold one for 2000g :) nice to see people buying it for that amount

Comment by ShadowRaver

Well the screen shot is of a gnome Near Org, so it kinda implies that the orb was used, or else that gnome would have been eaten by orcs alrdy :)

its a fun ring, it doesnt add any stats, and u cant enter enemy citys or make guards think ur friendly, its only a rare ring that can be used for fun, it changes ur form to horde but not anymore then that:/

Comment by Aerxas

If it's red, it's dead.

Comment by bubbathefrog

Here's a thought is it possible if u use this in wintergrasp. Can u enter the raid even if your faction isnt technically controlling bc u r using orb of deception. I think if the orb does allow ppl in2 raid u get get a warlock and 2 friends with the orbs to run in and then summon rest of raid to the raid. Also im wonderin is it possible to see the greater elmentals bc u r temporarily part of the horde with this trinket or alliance if u r a hordie.... Som1 with 1 of these can u plz check into this id b very curious to see if it works.

Comment by sg1969

it doesn't make you "part of the horde". you just look like one.

or he could sell the orb for several Hundreds. lotta bored people out here

Comment by perdaniel

No, you can't sell it to other players after use, as it will be soulbound.

Comment by killingfrost1979

You'll still show up with red/yellow over your head with your name...and guards will still attack you on sight. That said, it wont be any easier to fish them up using this trinket.

Comment by Kenthemius

Somebody should add a tauren on a mechano strider screenshot. XD That would be epic.

Comment by BrokeNL

They've lessened the value dramatically based on what I just did, both riding my Talbuk as a Tauren and using Winterfall Firewater had absouletely no affect on the size of me or my mount. VERY dissapointed and hope it's either or a bug or it's changed back.

Comment by Hattori75

so apparently if you're female if you use an ironboot flask before orb you'll be the male counterpart of your race

Comment by Nikedawg

So... If you use this and then jump into the water at the end of UK you still die. At first I thought it was the DK playing a trick on me with Path of Frost or whatever but I checked my combat log and there was nothing there... I'll test it again here in the next hour and see if it kills me again...

Comment by yorcie1

what does trolls turn into in this thing?

Comment by hooroo

but i dont want to be a gnome:(

Comment by Mystic6

I tryed farming the orb for about 2 weeks solid. Diremaul pvp area It never dropped once. Lots of other 55ish blues dropped though. You can farm runecloth there while you wait. The bosses spawned once every 4,8 to 12 hours with a possible 30 min before or after time difference. I parked one of my 80s there and logged onto him when the timer I set went off. Though I did not get the orb, I kept track of the ah for it. I must have taken someones farming spot. By the end of 2 weeks, The 2 orbs that were in the ah had gone up to 4k gold each. Going to try to farm it once again. Its a fun item that I would like to have on all my toons.

Comment by celvax

If you're one of those classes that can solo pre-bc raids, a good investment of time would be to go hit Onyxia. She'll drop her usual assortment of epics witch can be vendored but she also drops 1-2 BoE blues. A guildie and I downed her just the other day and she dropped one of these.

Even if you don't get it from her, she drops around 50g and the epics npc for 3-10g, also the other BoEs might be worth something to someone.

Comment by taohu

When you use the orb, the gear that you were wearing before use is not shown when you gain the buff. Instead, you should be wearing an entirely different set of armour.

Comment by porkchop27330

This just dropped for my DK on Anvilmar from Mayor Quimby

Comment by Wardance

Looted 2x Orb of deception from that Skarr the Unbreakable ^^That really made my day =P

Comment by Trezdoras

Rare world drop, onyxia can drop it aswell, but very low droprate :) some mobs in feralas should drop it,Can sell for high prices on AH (over 2K gold on my server) , not bad thing to farm for money ;).

Comment by D3us

Is there any item with similar effect ingame?

Comment by trillz

got it from The Razza or whatever in The Maul (FFA PVP zone in DM) and dropped some ok 1H axe, pretty good place to farm if you just have a guy camped there and just login once and awhile.

Comment by EddieCenaHardy

Its better to sell for gold rather than wear...It doesnt trick any NPCs or Players...

Comment by Exic

This item goes for 1300g in horde AH (Sylvanas EU).

Comment by saruichiban

I was really hoping it would only change my model, in stead of giving me a costume. Wanted to see a dranei in rogue gear.I got mine off of trash in Strat. Damn horse still hasn't dropped for me.

Comment by Bilbin

Today I've used Pygmy Oil to change me into a small gnome female.My normal character is a male Blood Elf, normally when using Orb of Deception I turn into a male Draenei. Upon using Orb of Deception my Pygmy Oil buff was removed and I transformed into a female Draenei.Also, if you're a mage it's a neat little trick if you pop Mirror Image

Comment by moenbase

Keep in mind, those who want to farm it...Although the "Dropped by" part says Blackrock Spire. In fact, many, if not all of the mobs are in Upper Blackrock Spire. A pretty small Raid that can be done solo by tank classes and such.

Comment by Bugginoid

Lol :P I got Orb of Deception first time i went to DM Arena :)

Im lucky :D:D:D

I found mine today off the trash mobs around Emeriss (world dragon boss) in Ashenvale.

Got mine while farming stratholme off a banshee trash mob. A fun item though the 30 min cd really doesn't reflect the 5min use time

Comment by Hypermarth

I hope they'll make this item like orb of the sin'dorei sometime... had spare money and bought one

Also if you use it and then take the trinket off the buff goes away, noticed that nobody posted that. So no changing b4 a boss fight then switching out :(

Comment by Snakeale

How can i find him?

Comment by Rogueforever

dropped from a chest in zangarmarsh once ;p

Comment by Coldmeiser

It darned sure doesn't work as advertised, the NPCs see you as your original faction and attack you anyway. It should be a complete disguise that lasts 5 mins, and is only cancelled when you attack someone.

It would also be cool if they had missions for opposed faction members in the big cities. You know, like spies on covert ops. "Talk to X, in Stormwind, to begin the mish," if you are horde, for example.

-Coldmeiser (Alliance DK, Drenden)

Comment by Restodruid

And Wc3 too

Comment by arcteras

One dropped from a bear in Winterspring this morning but I may well sell it. If you can't sneak in to your opposing faction's cities for a nosey or fishing achievement (the buff only lasts for 5 minutes but at least you could make it to a safe fishing spot before it wore off) or use it for tactical advantage in battlegrounds, what is the point? Hmmm. I'm sure it's entertaining once or twice but the novelty would soon wear off. Humbug!

Comment by TastyTauren

This item has no real "use" other then being so fun, it drops as a world drop but also off of a select group of rare spawns.

Comment by Cattpride

Warcraft I: Orcs and HumansWarcraft II: Trolls, Dwarves, Gnomes, Blood Elves (Then High Elves)Warcraft III: Undead, Night Elves, Tauren, Demons that used to be DraeneiWorld of Warcraft: Draenei as "Broken"The Burning Crusade: "Unbroken" Draenei, The Blood Elf sect of High Elves (The 10% of the High Elves that survived Arthas' attack)

Note that I only included well-known sentient races. The ones that are playable in WoW are underlined.

EDIT: Also, as someone already pointed out, races do transform into the opposite faction race that was introduced nearest to them.Humans<<>>OrcsDwarves<<>>TrollsGnomes<<>>TaurenNight Elves<<>>UndeadDraenei<<>>Blood Elves

Although I think it should go like this, transforming into the enemy race with a main similarity to yours.Humans<<>>Orcs (Eternal enemies.)Gnomes<<>>Trolls (Neither have own capital city.)Night Elves<<>>Tauren (Both can be Druids.)Draenei<<>>Blood Elves (Both have faction exclusive class, Shaman and Paladin, respectively, and were added in TBC.)Dwarves<<>>Undead (Only races left.)

Comment by Luckystar

You can't use it in combination with the Iron Boot Flask (or not anymore), if you try using the orb after you've used the flask, it says "A more powerful spell is already active".

Edit: oh weird... I tried several times and it said that, then I tried again in the last minute of the flask and it worked, it turned me into a male indeed. So I guess you can only use the orb if the timer on the flask is less than 5 minutes, since the flask is 10 and the orb just 5?

This dropped in Dire Maul yesterday and again today in Molten Core. I lost roll both times for it. I just know it's mocking me...

Comment by Cattpride

If that's your logic, then Undead have no similarity to ANY other race in the game, and Blizzard should just remove them because of how different the are.

This item dropped for me maybe an hour ago while I was running Stratholme as a solo.

Comment by pyrohawk6

y use it wen you can sell it for like 4k gold

Comment by Fungalsporebat

im not sure how it normaly is but in my realm 2k is the most iv seen it sold for 600g is teh normal for dalvenger

Comment by muvirey

I want one of these there neat, lol :-)

Comment by Superczar

I wanted one of these bad, then I found out it doesn't actually let you enter towns and fool guards and opposing faction players, kind of a shame considering this item goes for so much gold on AH, usually between 800-1500 on my server.

I got one just now off Skarr, I don't know whether to sell it or just keep it as a conversation piece.

Comment by Losna

One can assume that the new (Cataclysm) races will be paired, similarly to Blood Elves and Draenei.

Worgen Male <-> Goblin MaleWorgen Female <-> Goblin Female

Comment by RobinZ

Will this work for a shapeshifted druid? Because it would be a real shame to get one of those for, say a balance druid, when they can't be/shift to Moonkin form.Also, do the effect break if you enter combat/attack/cast spells? Because if it does, there would be no point in being shapeshifted anyway. :)

I'd be happy to get a serious answer (often no problem here on wowhead), becuase I am looking for something awesome to give my brother. :)

Comment by nekrogre

in burrning crusade when i was lvl 19 my guild dissbanded over this one item ...it was a big deal back tehn and on oynixia 1 will fetch 3500g max it varries weekly ...happy farming

Comment by Deakk

Currently selling for a stupid amount of gold (7,400) on my server.

Comment by theamazingluis1

It still has not dropped for me and i have killed him AT LEAST 20 times... Can someone give me some tips?

Comment by fordring

so if i had it and i was a human i would be an orc?

Comment by nguyenhothanh

IMO the transformation is based on the order of races in your "create new character" session.It goes exactly in the same order.

Feel free to comment on others i may have missed and I'll be sure to add them here.

Comment by goomba

You can't go into the opposing faction's area in Dalaran while disguised using the orb of deception. =(

Comment by desertxsnow

Question: From what I've noticed, it has pre-set clothing... Is this true? I'd love confirmation before buying it or bothering to "farm" for it during Strath runs and whatnot. Thanks. :)

Comment by Ghanked

U might be on to somthing but i belive tht they transform u according to wht race is apposite on the "Create new Charater" list

Comment by roserose

Recommendedalways lack of gold to buy items/gears/equipts from AH?we just enjoy our game, stop wasting our time to farm.I Recommend a good and honest site wich offer all the BOE items/gears/equiptswww.itemvendor.com

Comment by Therran

In BGs and general PvP, will it disguise your name so that the enemy won't know you're disguised?

Comment by Oniguru

still it's fun to wear this and dance around as a member of the opposite faction...

Comment by dvis

Anyone have an idea how this works with Shadowform? Does it disable Shadowform; or does your new appearance have Shadowform?

Comment by huuren

Anyone else wonder why the Orb of Deception transforms the user into the opposite race, but with horrible looking gear unlike the Orb of the Sin'dorei which uses your current gear, but in elf form.My guess is that they wanted to make the transformation look as deceptive as possible at the time of it's implementation, when players looked like crayons had thrown up on them.This was partially fixed with the Draenei and Blood elves having a more "uniformed" look.If you want an example, look at Troll Male -> Dwarf Male.

hoping to find some fool with more gold then sense :D

Comment by leonix

I just got mine from LBRS run on my resto shammy. I do NOT recommend farming it in here because of its very low chance to drop. It is a nice bonus while in LBRS but the best place for farming it is in DM.

Good luck farming it either for gold or personal use (like me :D).

the base for each transformation seems to be based on there locationsdirectly across from each other on the character creation screen

Comment by LuckyBandit

Dropped of Ragnaros in Molten Core last night. Was a nice surprise since I didnt even know he could drop it.

Comment by Adnauseam

This is no longer true. If you use the Iron Boot Flask and then try to use this orb, it will tell you "A more powerful spell is already active".

Comment by bretm

One of these just dropped for me in heroic Halls of Lightning of all places. I was very surprised. I double-checked that it wasn't the one I already had, which was still safely in my bank and soulbound unlike the new one. So it's real.

With proper reputations, the possibilities are endless. You can make a goblin get exalted with orgrimmar then change to a worgen and mount your wolf. EPIC!

Comment by connmg

To let you guys know, if you have a Super Simian Sphere and the Orb, if you use the sphere right before the orb you can become a member of the opposite faction inside the the force-field effect of the sphere

Forgot to mention, the same thing will happen if use the sphere and the time-lost figurine... arakkoa in a force-field. I would post screenshots, but they don't seem to want to save =/

Comment by Shadock

I used this item as a human and became an orc. Then I mounted and went to the Horde place to amuse the hordies. Anyway, when the time expired and I got back into the form of human, I was still the size of the orc so I was a large human body on a small mount. So this happens if youre mounted when time expires. Rather hilarious to almost step on the ground while your mount goes :D

Edit: You are back to your normal size when you dismount

Comment by battierpeeler

on 'skarr the unbreakable' page, it says the orb has a 13% drop rate. seems legit based on the numbers. good luck

Comment by asherkobin

When Cataclysm comes out, I think the Orb will see a spike in price since one new race for each faction will be available. Of course this assumes that Blizzard will add Worgen an Goblin to the possible transformations.

Comment by bearpawd

Comment by joshai1990

This dropped on my first try soloing UBRS w/ my 80 Ret Pally, soloing b/c ppl only want the jenkins title and after that i was all alone. I just finished the Arena event and was looting the trash that spawned and BEHOLD! THE ORB OF DECEPTION! I was even more surprised to see the prices of it on the AH: 3.5k gold was the LOWEST buyout price! I Was kinda glad those jerks left when they did.

Comment by Eldarias

I just noticed that when i use this item on my Draenei and mount my Black War Tiger as a BE my size increases if I am still mounted when the orb buff fades or i remove it. My mount does not scale with my size, looks like i am riding a kitten. I remain this size until I dismount. Using Heroism and a Winterfall Firewater before i mount makes me tower over everyone else. Can't wait to try this out with Thunderbrew's Hard Ale.

Comment by omglollol

Ok so I'm interested in buying this item and I was wondering one thing... If I use my orb of the sin'dori (sorry for spelling fail) and then use this would it then make me a draenei? Or would it just turn me into an Orc?

Comment by StaticLgtBrngr

Have only ever had 2 of these items drop in my wow career, (since early 2k7) both from old stratholme trash.

Kept one and sold the other.

Comment by hiteSPARKYZ

That comment (Daab's) should help all the brainless WoW players that buy their 80s

Really? Uprate Captain obvious but donwrate me

Comment by Benegesserit

They really need to change this to work from your inventory like the Orb from Magister's Terrace.

Comment by sivla

Funny thing is I was just told, the arena drop rate is 5 times worse than it dropping of a non named elite within any of the wings.I ran through first time on new alt, east wing, went upstairs pasts the spirits, and hit one of the druid elites..and bam it dropped from a non named elite.A friend did the north wing, and just killed one of the regular non named elites, first drop she got was the orb. I really don't think this can be luck, because if two people did this the same night in different wings, and a couple of other people I know did it a week or two back, then it's drop rate has been obviously increased dramatically.

So stay away from the arena, your just wasting time for an item that by all accounts now doesn't drop (4.0.1a) from any of the arena elites...just farm dm all wings you're sure to get it now. If not run it a couple more times.

Comment by Putzahontas

It just dropped for me off of Skarr (one of the arena elites), so I can confirm it is still dropping off of them in 4.01. It's probably also worth noting that I've been farming inside DM for librams for hours upon hours, and am yet to see one drop from inside the instance.

Comment by Hean

I'm guessing on that in CATA, it will have the effect of:Goblin <-> Worgen

Comment by pokethemind

I actually got this item farming Cenarion Circle rep in Silithus off the Twilight guys.

Comment by Taranthalos

will the orb be working like this for goblins/worgen or will it be different?

Male Goblin <-> Male WorgenFemale Goblin <-> Female Worgen

Comment by ChilaKIlla

They increase the drop rate? Got 2 of Skarr at the same time about 10 mins ago sweet :)

Comment by talkRAYdio

i've been camping dire maul all day - the mobs that drop this haven't spawned once. anyone else notice this? are they in a different place now or is the orb no longer obtainable?

Comment by beastly

dropped from a silken chest in un'goro crater for me just now. after days of farming it on my main, it drops by chance on my alt while leveling.

Comment by kwjohnstone

It is a WORLD drop people... always has been. ALSO used to be able to get this from the "arena" outside DM.

Last night this dropped for me off RAG.

Anyone on beta able to confirm goblin > worgen transformation or vice versa?

Comment by sebas1979

I heard they dont drop anymore of 3.0.4a. So ppl who have them in their bags and not used them they can sell em for very high prices.

As I have been gone for some time this is indeed still obtainable as a World Drop.

Comment by HikariOblivion

Confirming that worgen becomes a goblin. Made a screen, which should hopefully be okayed soon :)

Comment by MoarHeroisms

Considering the two raremobs in Dire Maul arena that originally dropped the level-54 Orb at a higher rate are now level 40, it's likely they no longer drop it. If you plan on camping The Maul, you may want to reconsider, as the rare spawns have also been relocated.

Comment by Brady18

so does anyone know of the best places to go to get this orb,sells for 1.8KG on my server,dont have the money for it,

Comment by tystarnez

Aside from the other racial transformations turns the new Goblin race into Worgen assuming its the same vice versa for Alliance. =)

Comment by RSFable

prolonged exposure to the orb of deception will give you... uh.. DECEPTION!

Comment by KnightProwler

I wish this orb would transform you into a random opposing faction race, then I'd fork up the 4,000g it's worth on my server... but if I only get tauren, it seems hardly worth it.

Comment by Lostelf

after several weeks (about 3) of farming i quit trying to get this i may visit the highest drop rate enemies again when im close to there location and hope to get a drop

I was farming Baron Rivendares mount, and this dropped off the boss before him. I had never seen it before. And, one of my rare stupid moments, I vendored it.

Comment by alicyndecay

If you want to make a nice little bit of gold (like over 1k on most servers, regardless of faction), sell this trinket instead of using it :)

Comment by Iann

Seems that they indeed made this a random drop with exeption of ragnaros having this on his loottable.

Prizes will go up with a BO prize on my server round about 7 k gold atm.

Comment by Lostelf

i have a question will using this orb as a female blood elf make me look EXACTLY like the dranei specified in the pics or will it have the same hairstyles ect.. cus an orb is going pretty cheap and dont wanna waste my money to have an ugly hairstyle also i wanted my b elf to have a "high tail" hairstyle when i was in dranei form but if its the ugly one shown in the pic i take my money els where

Comment by ShinryuMasaki

It used to work though, I did it plenty of times. But one patch, not sure which one, fixed it. A shame really.

Comment by moussambani

I got lucky enough to get one of those! Think I should sell it in the AH?

Comment by collector

If you want to see a funny bug, gnomes can transform into a taurren and then mount up and take off the trinket. You got yourself a huge freaking gnome on a mount!

Comment by XSCounter

Nasty glitch or "how to delete your trinket"

(Not) A funny story. Here is what happened. I equipped Orb of Deception and transformed. When I tried to equip back my pvp trinket instead of replacing the Orb in trinket slot, my pvp trinket VANISHED from my inventory! Shocker.

Comment by Derren

if you unequip the orb, you lose the buff.

Another fun item nerfed signed blizzard.

Comment by StansDad

So if it is a cosmetic change only and will not deceive enemies or allow one to gain the benefits of the apparent change of race (other than riding a different mount), is there any value in it as anything other than a novelty?

n.b. e.g., can you purchase a different race's mount without the necessary status?

p,s, ...so is it policy to downrate comments from those seeking enlightenment?

Comment by Problimatic

It's been disenchanted 12 times /cry

Comment by Calyrn

I would usually tag this as a reply, but to answer two posts at once, yes, it is policy to downrate those seeking enlightenment. You must cleverly disguise questions so they look like incorrect statements at which point someone will correct you, thus giving you the answer and a very downrated comment anyway. And every time someone disenchants an orb a puppy dies. I'm going to find millions of these orbs and disenchant every last one of them.

P.S. I really think you got downrated because we answered that before. You have three types of questions there, (or two, I don't care really...) It is cosmetic. It's value is it's cosmetic. It is still just cosmetic.

Edit: Seems I didn't tag it as a reply the person deleted their comment. So I won't edit out my answer so that hopefully anyone else that will ask that will read this first.

Comment by hilltopperpete

I've only been playing WOW for 3 months, and I just found my second one of these! The first was off a random mob in the Blasted Lands and the second was from a Thorium Lockbox.

Comment by Paladindwarf217

Confirmed that Razza and Skarr still drops Orb of Deception after relocation. It may be weird on how a lvl 40 drops a lvl 54 item, but it's still there. If you don't believe me, put in a ticket and ask a gm yourself.

Yes I asked a gm

Comment by spottedtauren

Here is a list I put together of all the items I know of that changea player's appearance, size, the appearance of the world, the appearance of other players, orthe appearance of a player's mount.

Comment by Lems

Is anyone else really annoyed by this item? I just got it today and I was surprised to find out it's a trinket. So you have to equip it (thus losing the benefits of whatever trinket you had on before) and then wait 30s in order to use it, and to make matters worse the effect is lost when the trinket is unequipped.

Comment by Mogyi

if i'm a horde, and i use this to become temporarily an alliance, then i can buy things from an alliance vendor?

Comment by Abigaelle

Just found in a chest in Mazthoril (a cave south to Lake Kel'Theril), in Winterspring.After looked the droprates, I think I'm very lucky :)).

I can now enjoy the worgen's females cute snorts ...

Comment by Leishai

I made a list of gimmick items which you can use to transform your character into a different form or race or even gender to play around with. I didn't add items like weapons that provide a procc with a transform effect that only lasts a few seconds even though I know about them. My intention was to list all items with controlable transformations. Feel free to let me know if I missed an item!I want to thank all the people below my lists who pointed out items I missed! This list grows thanks to your effort as well! Thanks guys, you're great!

Comment by kittenpie

Is this item just for fun or does it have another purpose? I found it in a chest in outland while doing loremaster and put it up in the AH for a price I thought nobody would ever pay and someone bought it almost instantly - should I not have sold it? Or should I have made it even more expensive? I am starting to wonder...

Comment by WorgN6

Shame it's actually pretty terrible though, it's only novelty, or worth is to those who haven't had one before and have not yet quite realized how broken by restrictions it is.

Comment by Okzana

I just got this thing in a random treasure chest in Silithus, I've never really been looking for one of those things before, was kinda surprised to see it in the treasure chest

Comment by Sinkatze

I had such a wrong idea of this trinket, I really thought it made you look like friendly to the oposing faction, but it just changes your apearence to one of them and thats it, just like many other items out there. The worst part is I bought it for 8,5k gold O_o

Comment by Aquifel

You're lucky to get it that cheap, someone was advertising that he would pay 15k gold for one in trade on my server.

Comment by Thanetor

What would possess you to disenchant this?EDIT: And what would possess you to rate this down? D:

Comment by Deathnotez

Alright so... let's say I race change my Rogue to Pandarian and I have this trinket in my hot little hands and use it... I will turn into Chuck Testa.

Comment by Vladi1q1

In the new expansion the panderan will be both Horde and Alliance. Any ideas what will happen if a panda uses the orb?I think it will be removed from the game :P.

Comment by Karsciyin

One has to wonder.... if that's not truly random, what happens when Mists of Pandaria drops and a pandaren uses it? They'd just transform into.... themselves...

Though I suppose in the case of the Pandaren, since they're supposed to be available to both sides, the primary benefit of this (a silhouette that doesn't ring alarms for the enemy faction) is irrelevant since they already have pandaren on their side, and am I correct in assuming you'd still get a red name to the enemy, as well as being unable to understand them....?

Comment by Juneko

I had this drop off... nefarion of all people while running bwl

Comment by lunayah

I'm surprised that no one has mention this yet, goblin druids and worgen shamans!

Comment by Ginner

I wonder what pandarens will turn into, yet another panda or something else ^^

Comment by kscott

So, my question. When Mists hits and you roll your Pandaren; will this turn you into a Pandaren of the opposite faction?

Comment by dwarfmasterr

I'd just like to give a fair warning to people, the 5 minute buff from this only effects your looks only. You can use it in a battleground, but the opposing faction will still be able to attack you. The buff doesn't stay after death either.

You'd be surprised how many people didn't know this. Trade chat on Trollbane used to be filled with people asking silly questions about it. I guess the definition of a silly question is the in the eyes of the person answering it.

Edit: Why was I downvoted? My information could be helpful to people trying to buy it for that reason...

Comment by WaywardHero

These rarer chests tend to have spawn areas near rare NPCs, and indeed, both chests were found while i was doing an intentional rare-spawn circuit around the zones.

As for the Orb... now i just need to gain a few more levels on my Gnome, and then it's a Tauren ambushing Tauren for some very unbrotherly Battleground lovin'!

Comment by Anotherdk

Pandaren <-> Pandaren?

Or will it be a random race of an opposing faction?

Comment by DarkVINT88

How much this may cost this item

Comment by Audav

Now we just need to know what pandaren will change into...

Comment by vindurza

what will pandaren turn into with this? why did this get a vote down its a legit question.

Comment by Dracovarius

I wonder how they will solve the dilemma that Pandaren have no "opposing race" to transform to. Perhaps a random transformation from the available models of the opposing faction?

Comment by mocky

I wonder what will happen when a Pandaren use it.

Comment by Superchief

To all of those wondering what the Pandaren will transform into, the solution is simple and you should have known by now. They will simply transform into a bowl of FRY RICE! Or BEEF BROKERY!.... orange chicken, chow mein, dim sum, sweet roll, egg roll, pot stickers, sweet-sour pork, anything else with pork in it /drool, or a stuffed Panda Express to-go box.

Comment by crazeheals

As this is BOE I do believe you can make some decent profit out of it - or just keep it for the fun of it.

Would be nice if the cooldown was on par with the duration 5 min /5 min.

Comment by Parknet

Just dropped for me off of Ragnaros in vanilla molten core farming run.

Comment by grlygeek

I just looted this from a Silverbound Treasure Chest, in the NW area of The Bony Wastes in Terokkar Forest, while farming Terocone. It's not even listed as a drop from one of these chests... so it was an incredible and unexpected find!

Comment by BartJ385

This has lost most of its appeal due to the introduction of Goblins and Worgen.Before that, there were no small guys among the Horde and no really tall guys among the Allies, so if you were turned into a Horde-Gnome or an Ally-Tauren, you'd stick out. Today, no one even notices anything.

Comment by wpken

I was just wondering what would a Pandaren turn into upon using one of these? O.o it's sitting in my bank waiting for that day...

Comment by Faell

Despite being a random world drop, this item is actually easier to farm than most people know. I decided to test farming this item for myself this past week. I spent 1.5 hours per day for 7 days and managed to get 4 orbs.

Obviously, results may vary, but if you would like to farm this item for yourself, I suggest doing it by farming sturdy and silken treasure chests in Blasted Lands, Swamp of Sorrows, Burning Steppes, Winterspring, Un'Goro, and Silithus.

I highly suggest you download the mod GatherMate2 and GatherMate2Data as it will place spawn points for all chests on your map. The only thing you need to be aware of is that some locations are underground in caves, which the mod will not indicate.

You can take the portal in the main cities straight to Blasted Lands and then move up to Swamp of Sorrows and Burning Steppes. As an added bonus, learn the spawn points of the rare mobs in Blasted Lands, who drop a Flawless Draenethyst Sphere 50% of the time that can be turned in for a bag that contains a rare item. Unfortunately, the orb doesn't appear to have a chance to come out of that bag.

Hearth back to a main city, take the portal to Hyjal, and fly over to Winterspring.

Knowing all the chest spawn points and setting up a consistent flight pattern, I was able to hit all six zones in about 45 minutes. I did this once in the morning and once in the afternoon, and I honestly found it quite enjoyable and relaxing. Not to mention it netted me 4 orbs and about 50 other rare items that I sold anywhere from 25 - 100g. Good luck!

Comment by HalseyUS

Hey everyone

Ive gotten two of these the past two Ragnaros kills Ive done in molten core

Since I just turn into a Undead male, Ive just been selling them

Sold my first one for 4k and now about to sell my second one for 3500, Seems not as useful anymore but meh, Easiest gold Ive made in awhile

Comment by Serabi

With the latest beta push, Pandaren now have disguises. For Alliance Pandaren, they are turned into a Pandaren of the same gender with the prominent piece of gear being a Horde tabard. I would guess that Horde Pandaren get the same thing, but with an Alliance tabard.

Comment by sergiochan005

What if a pandaren uses it?

Comment by sergiochan005

What if a pandaren equips it?

Comment by Makapaka12

This dropped for me today from Ragnaros :D It transforms your character into a member of the Alliance (or Horde).

Comment by Tulavelir

Pandaren get a bit gipped with this trinket.If you're an Alliance Pandaran, you'll get switched into a brown leather looking outfit and a Horde tabard. I'm attaching a picture for reference.My guess would be the same for Horde to Alliance.I should note it does also randomize your Pandaren self. Mine went from grey to black.

I've discovered that Pandaren will transform into a randomly selected member of the opposing faction.

That is, if you went Horde, you'll transform into a random Alliance race and vice versa. I found this out quite by accident when I used it on my Alliance panda mage (I'd not used it but once or twice before) and POOF - goblin. I just used it again to make sure and was transformed into a tauren. I'm attaching pictures for reference.

Comment by aelis89

I've used this orb twice on my Horde female pandaren monk and she has been turned into a night elf and then a human.

Edit: tried again and got the draenei form so I'm guessing for Pandaren, it randomizes what you get.

Comment by dukenukemi

This should be able to use in bag.

Comment by scharky

Just grabbed this little beauty off AH for a mere 2k gold. Thanks to the seller, wherever you are...and let the downrating begin! :D

Comment by cdmjjm

Looking at these particular figures, it would appear that, since I got mine from a chest in Nagrand, that doing so is very unlikely.

Comment by maely

Got this from Ragnaros tonight during my weekly MC run for Hydraxian Warlord rep. I'm like two weeks away from Exalted, so I've probably killed Ragnaros a good 25 or so times and this is the first time I've ever seen it drop.

In the Warlords of Draenor Orb of Deception is being placed in a new tab near to Mount and Pet Journal called "Toy Box". This means it will be available on every character of that account will NO LONGER be a trinket and will not take any of your precious bag space :)

Comment by LycaNinja

What happens when a Pandarian uses it?

Comment by devilofanger

Why is it called Orb of "Deception" when guards from the opposing faction still attack you? And your real faction is still stated when players highlight you, and you still appear red to players on the opposing faction?IMO it should completely disguise you until you actually attack something, in less you're flagged for PvP (inless you are only flagged due to entering an enemy city or contested area).

Comment by tituslord

As of 6.0.2, this item is now compatible with the Toybox features, thus making it available to all of your alts.

Comment by turbosac

What about if you are a pandaren?..

Comment by Pythagoreant

Pandaren become a random race from the opposing faction.

If used on a Pandaren that has not yet chosen a faction (e.g. has not left the turtle), you will receive the buff, but will not change appearance.

Comment by darrianl

If you use the with they will combine and you will be a pirate ghost version of whatever race you transformed into.

Comment by Lomedae

This used to give you the appearance of wearing a set of a Vanilla styled gear as well. Undocumented in 7.0.3 it only changes your race, your appearance in equipped gear remains intact.

Dropped for me today 10/26/16 in Blackwing Lair off one of the dragons in the supression slow you down part. I ghost wolfed through the mess, stopped in front of Broodlord Lashlayer Boss and aoed the dragons before attacking the boss. I looted, and there was an Orb of Deception. I believe it dropped from a Death Talon Hatcher.
